Claims17
A golfing aid, comprising:
- a connector portion;
- a first leg and a second leg, each having a first end connected to the connector portion, at least one of the first and the second leg being pivotable about the connector portion;
- a holding mechanism, the holding mechanism mounted on the connector portion to provide a holder for a golf club, the holder configured to releasably secure the golf club to the golfing aid to form a stand for the golf club,
- wherein the connector portion comprises predetermined positions for arranging the first leg and the second leg, the predetermined positions comprising a first pivot position, a second pivot position and a third pivot position;
- and
- wherein the holding mechanism is integral with the connector portion, and comprises a spring tension holding mechanism.
A method of using a golfing aid, comprising using the golfing aid in at least one use position, a straight ball alignment position, a club stand position, and a putting aid position, the method comprising:
- providing a golfing aid configured for use in each of the straight ball alignment position, club stand position, and putting aid position, the golfing aid comprising a plurality of detents representing the use positions for two legs of the golf aid, the plurality of detents arranged on a central hub and configured to align the two legs into the use positions with respect to each other and to the central hub;
- aligning the two legs of the golfing aid in the straight position about a central hub for use of the golfing aid as a ball location marker;
- aligning the two legs of the golfing aid in the club stand position with the legs at an acute angle with respect to one another about the central hub, and angled away from the central hub, and gripping a golf club with a holding mechanism in the central hub;
- aligning the two legs of the golfing aid separated by a user determined distance while the golfing aid is on its side for use in the putting aid position.
A golfing aid, comprising:
- a central hub having a gripping portion configured to grip a golf club with a friction fit;
- a pair of legs coupled to and rotatable about the central hub and with respect to each other in a first direction with respect to the central hub;
- and rotatable in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction with respect to the central hub;
- a plurality of detents representing a plurality of operating positions for the two legs, the plurality of detents arranged on the central hub and configured to align the pair of legs into three positions with respect to each other and to the central hub, a first position in which the legs engage a first set of the plurality of detents to align the pair of legs at an angle to each other of 180 degrees, a second position in which the legs engage a second set of the plurality of detents to align the pair of legs at an angle with respect to each other of less than 180 degrees and more than 0 degrees;
- and a third position in which the legs engage a third set of the plurality of detents to align the pair of legs at an angle with respect to each other of 0 degrees;
- wherein the pair of legs is rotatable in the second direction when in the second position to form a club stand.
